Hoping for

mywords2228

A miracle as life seems to becoming so much more than I imagined.

Raising up in the morning before the sunrise in search of a long day of work.

Time flying by and we’ll nothing seeming just right.

Hope that things will get better and knowing it will too.

But, yet doubt still sinks in and turns good things into negative situations and those never end well.

The pressure to get it right just seems like it’s all in my head.

Like everyone is saying praises and yet doing better is at the forefront of your mind and it is holding you hostage.

Until you realize so much more of your value in life and as yourself.

What I

mywords2228

Really need seems like a question I need answers too.

For I feel like I’m living but what am I living for again?

My purpose seems to be more than I thought and now I am praying for a sign to show me.

That there is more to me than what I’ve shown so far.

It all feels like I am about to go on a journey that will hopefully finally show me the final pathway.

That will lead me to the place I need to be in order to know what’s been happening is worth it.

Poetry

I won’t

mywords2228

Start looking for you for you are meant to find me.

I won’t start making a list about you for you are to come to me as you are and all that you are will be enough.

I will be full of words that will express how you make me feel but I won’t come on too strong.

I know once we are one it will be hard and impossible to break us apart.

For if we are meant to be it will last and through every storm and celebration we will grow and learn. 

 For I won’t stop hoping you will come to me soon and shake up my very quite life again.

Poetry

Am I

mywords2228

To fold to every demand you try to make.

Or will you realize I’m not that same girl.

Things have changed and you may not be okay with that.

But I am because I’m taking back my life and my words and my confidence.

I am tired of second guessing things and hesitating about other things.

I may have been a little over the top but I didn’t make you feel like an outsider looking in on well a life that truly wasn’t never mine.

I found my voice once I let you go and now I barely think of you.

I think you pop up I my mind as a reminder I am and always will be stronger and better off without you!

I know

mywords2228

 Not of what awaits me today.

As it seems there are challenges that keep popping up and yet I seem hopeful.

That I will get through it all even when I know the struggle is far from being over.

My hopes to get ahead or even break even just isn’t in the cards for me.

And so I just face everything for what it is and keep moving through life as if this pace won’t always be how I’m walking on my journey.

Poetry

I can

mywords2228

 Not deny that things are falling apart around me.

But I am full of hope and joy because I know I did right.

They say wish harm on Someone else and it will most likely backfire.

So I let you try to stab me in the back many times only for you to see I am not going down.

I am not getting weaker but stronger and the anger and sadness in you begins to grow.

As the peace in me stands strong and attached to a path that is still unclear but slightly focused on an end goal.

That won’t be flashy but a place that is not just a settling but a true destiny.

Poetry

You came

mywords2228

Back and yes it was a surprise

For I just thought about reaching out to you.

Then there you were standing tall with a smile on your face, begging me to step closer.

And I knew I couldn’t stay mad and so forgiveness was given and the distance between us was closed.

Oh how nice it has been to see you again it’s like everything has fade and in the moment it’s my favorite time of year again.

It’s like nothing changed and those first moments we spent together came right back.

Today would forever be great because of our reconnection no matter how crazy it got.
